Add New Post #

Posts and articles can be used to create news articles for your library. These can be used as a newsletter or editorial blog and can be distributed electronically (emailed, linked on the library home page, etc).

There are three parts to this screen:

• Filename – this is the name the file will be saved as. It can only contain letters or digits and should be a logical name.
• Title – this is the displayed heading of the post.
• Content – this is a rich text editor. Operators can add formatted content, links, images and tables. This is an easy to use editor, where ‘what you see is what you get’ (WYSIWYG).

Saving Changes #

When any changes are made to the section, operators must press save at the bottom of the screen.

What to do with a post/article #

Once a post or article has been saved operators can share the link (via email, linked to home page, etc).

How to share a post:

• View the post – click on the view post button.
• Select the full url from the address bar at the top of the page.
• This can be sent to users via email or linked on the Top Nav Menu, News Section, or News Alt Section (click on any of these for more instructions0).

The image to the left is an example of a ‘post’. It has been linked to the Top Nav Menu with a label ‘What’s New”.

The example shows the use of images, links and formatting.
